Was it just me, or did BBC HD not show the final episode of this last night? It didn't appear in the folder when I looked this morning.
I see it is on BBC1 Scotland tonight, but obviously not in HD

according to the Radio Times it was only in sd
I wonder why show the whole series in HD apart from the last episode? Strange
Anyway, not me going mad (this time

Would not have been so bad if they had something that was new and important to show on the HD channel instead of a 2007 repeat that has been repeated more time than I can count on two hands.
I'd keep the schedule intact just incase they decide to air it in the near future, the beeb tend to have some strange scheduling on HD
Probably incompetance, but here's a possible reason which makes some sort of half sense. I remember reading that BBC don't put out something on HD until it's shown on all regions (or simulcast with them all). If that's the case, and if one of the regions wasn't showing it last night perhaps due to some local event, they would defer it on HD until it was shown on that region.
Having said that, I'm almost sure I've seen stuff go out on BBC HD earlier in the evening than the same programme on BBC NI. It was simulcast with all the other BBC regions, but BBC NI's evening schedule was running later than the rest due to the insertion of a regional programme. Perhaps the rule only applies to the day that a programme goes out, not the time. Or, perhaps they don't care so much about NI.
That's a reasonable theory.
However, I checked in TV-Browser, and BBC Scotland (the only region showing it late) were showing Holby City at 20:00 for an hour instead of Rogue Traders & The Green Green Grass. This doesn't look like a one-off regional event, although I can't check earlier weeks. Unless there are some viewers in Scotland that could confirm whether TGGG normally shows on Thursdays or Fridays in that Region.
Again, in TV-Browser, I've checked for rescheduling on BBC HD up to Sat 14th March, and it's not appearing yet. Although that doesn't mean BBC couldn't slip it in without me noticing (ooh matron !!)
I've emailed BBC on their webform asking for an explanation.

The series started on Thursdays, I watched that and Hustle live on HD. After Hustle finished they moved TGGG to Fridays.
BBC Scotland seem to have a strange "juggle the schedule" game as far as Holby is concerned. TGGG is a victim of that game!:D
